mount(1M)                     UNIX System V(UFS)                      mount(1M)


NAME
      mount (ufs) - mount ufs file systems

SYNOPSIS
      mount [-F ufs] [generic_options] [-r] [-o specific_options] {
      special|mount_point }
      mount [-F ufs] [generic_options] [-r] [-o specific_options] special
      mount_point

DESCRIPTION
      generic_options are options supported by the generic mount command.
      mount attaches a ufs file system, referenced by special, to the file
      system hierarchy at the pathname location mount_point, which must already
      exist.  If mount_point has any contents prior to the mount operation,
      these remain hidden until the file system is once again unmounted.

      The options are:

      -F ufs
           Specifies the ufs-FSType.

      -r   Mount the file system read-only.

      -o   Specify the ufs file system specific options in a comma-separated
           list.  If invalid options are specified, a warning message is
           printed and the invalid options are ignored.  The following options
           are available:

          f      Fake an /etc/mnttab entry, but do not actually mount any file
                  systems.  Parameters are not verified.

          n      Mount the file system without making an entry in /etc/mnttab.

          rw|ro  Read/write or read-only.  Default is rw.

          nosuid By default the file system is mounted with setuid execution
                  allowed.  Specifying nosuid overrides the default and causes
                  the file system to be mounted with setuid execution
                  disallowed.

          remount
                  Used in conjunction with rw.  A file system mounted read-only
                  can be remounted read-write.  Fails if the file system is not
                  currently mounted or if the file system is mounted rw.

NOTES
      If the directory on which a file system is to be mounted is a symbolic
      link, the file system is mounted on the directory to which the symbolic
      link refers, rather than on top of the symbolic link itself.
